Free Syrian Army media activists call upon Ahrar al-Sham and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham to quickly mobilise towards rural northern and eastern Hama to help prevent the advances of the Syrian Government forces in the region.

Footage: A commander from Harakat Nour al-Din al-Zenki says they refuse any brigade to leave Aleppo, including Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, and promises to the citizens of eastern Aleppo that the battle to break the siege on eastern Aleppo is before us (i.e. soon).

The United States and the United Kingdom have rejected a Russian and a Syrian government offer of a temporary “pause” on airstrikes in Aleppo as the basis for reopening talks, saying there has to be a credible and durable ceasefire that should initially last as long as 48 hours. The West demands a ‘credible and durable ceasefire’ for Aleppo as a basis for talks as the United States calls the proposal ‘too little, too late’.
